How did this happen anyway? InterNIC? Postel? Doesn't this error imply that
a percentage of the Internet was unresolvable by the entire planet?
It would really be great to find out what chain of events got us a root
nameserver on our network; not that we wouldn't mind donating the resources
to run one - it would just be nice to know in advance. :-)
Maybe we can get bilateral peering with BBN since we have a root server,
